Museum Overview

Discover a varied mountain bike trail. Climb gently, then let yourself slide through a peaceful forest. The spectacular descent to Auberives-en-Royans will offer you breathtaking views and a historic passage under an aqueduct

This route takes you along the paths and country roads of the Royans region. You'll tackle a series of short climbs to reach a forest crossing before descending to the Saint Just de Claix plain. You'll then climb back up the Moraye hillsides for a section through the forest. Take the opportunity to explore the winding paths and breathe in the fresh air. A descent into a beautiful valley will bring you back to the village of Auberives en Royans.

To conclude your walk, you will pass under an impressive aqueduct dating from the end of the 19th century. This work of art supports the Bourne canal, which carries water from the river to the Valence plain to irrigate the agricultural land.
